Illari, Overwatch 2's Latest Hero, Faces Temporary Suspension

Overwatch 2's support hero Illari, known for her glowing eyes and hair, along with her Solar Rifle, has been temporarily removed from competitive play. This sudden move by Activision Blizzard comes after the release of a new patch that resulted in an unexpected bug giving Illari infinite ammo.

A Bug That Turned Into A Buff

Illari was pulled from the game on January 9 due to her buffs being too powerful. The bug was so severe that it gave her an unlimited supply of ammunition.

Overwatch 2's New Story Missions

Overwatch 2's new story missions have been a hot topic of discussion among gamers. Some believe they are worth the money, while others have reservations.

Infinite Ammo Bug

Famous Overwatch 2 Twitch streamer mL7 discovered the infinite ammo bug. He noticed his ammo capacity for Illari went into negative numbers, yet he was able to keep firing his rifle without needing to reload. This led to the temporary removal of Illari from the game.

Official Announcement From Activision Blizzard

Following the discovery of the bug, Activision Blizzard announced on their official forums that Illari was removed to investigate the issue with her ammunition not resetting correctly. This only affects competitive play, and she can still be selected in other game modes such as Quick Play.

Other Updates And Changes

While Illari is benched, several other Overwatch 2 characters have been updated. Mauga's health has been increased, Roadhog's self-healing ability has been nerfed, Sojourn's railgun charge never falls below 25 percent, and the effects of Ana's biotic grenade don't last as long anymore.
